Each piece comes as a pair: a hand-carved redwood stool and a sheepskin zafu cushion. The stool is constructed in reclaimed old-growth redwood. The shape reads as though it's been inflated, holding some lightness inside it, an aesthetic I first found in teapots and am now finding my way toward in wood.

The zafu cushions are sheepskin from a local regenerative grazing project in Ojai. The wool carries the color it grew in, undyed and unaltered, ranging from cream to soft cinnamon to deep brown depending on the flock and the season. Vegetable-tanned without harsh chemicals. We don't over-process, so you may find wild remnants from the field, a blade of grass, a seed pod, a burr. Hitchhikers from the particular places that nourished each hide. Inside, an inner liner holds buckwheat hulls that shift and settle to the sitter. The underside is sewn from canvas left over from other projects in the studio. No two cushions share the same wool, the same length, the same pattern of cream and shadow.
